Back Country Horsemen of Northwest Arkansas (BCHNWA) recently set up Regional Leaders to schedule work days and made many accomplishments. Regional Leaders for Hobbs State Park are Debbie Ludolph and Marla Walker and Jacci Perry-Ryan assisted the “Friends of Hobbs” organization in trail maintenance in order for Hobbs to host a bicycle race. They received a thank you letter from Hobbs, stating the trails had never looked so good. Regional Leaders for Devils Den State Park, Jim Center and Billy Jones alongside state chainsaw coordinator Lonnie O’Bryant used the new chainsaw equipment to remove dead trees that were blocking hiking trails at Devil’s Den State Park. Many chapter members helped in tree removal and clearing on the yellow trail with the new equipment and PPE purchased with grant funding obtained by BCHNWA. We are Trail Stewards of all trails. Founding President, Lonnie O'Bryant has recently become the Arkansas State Chainsaw Coordinator helping all Arkansas Back Country Horsemen chapters get chainsaw certified. A goal long awaited for! Back Country Horsemen is thrilled to have the first equestrian represented sawyers in the State! We will have our second round of Sawyer certifications coming in the spring of 2023. “We are ready to get to do more work, We love to clip and ride" said BCHNWA President Jim Center.
